I did review Sonic Boom back in the day. While I didn't think it was as bad as everyone said it was, it definitely wasn't that good and certainly not a Sonic game anyone wanted.
It's a shame the writers of the cartoon were stuck with such a bad license, because there is some pretty clever writing in that show.
I'm not a big Sonic fan and while Sonic Mania was a step in the right direction, I didn't get very far in it. I did like the boss of the Chemical Plant Zone, as it was just a round of Puyo Puyp/Mean Bean Machine!
I don't really watch that show, but my family did and they said that Joe guy used to be the chief of police in my hometown a long time ago!
Some of my family really got into Tiger King recently. We learned that one of the people on that show was the police chief in my hometown when I was a kid!
I never owned Final Fantasy on the NES as a kid, but my friend had it and Dragon Warrior. I would go over to his house and play them and we'd take turns playing the game while the other looked at maps and beastiaries to help the one playing. I enjoyed Final Fantasy more than Dragon Warrior, though. Not sure why, I guess FF was more visually appealing. But even so, I never felt compelled to buy either of those games myself. I was just happy playing them at my friend's house. But that all changed with FF4 on the SNES. That's when I really got into RPGs!
I wrote a blog series about the Genesis Mini a while back.
Dynamite Headdy has a lot of neat ideas, but it's just too chaotic for me.
There's not a whole lot of Treasure games I really like. They're either too hard or feel like half a game to me. The only one I really liked was Astro Boy: Omega Factor.
I'm still employed and doing well. I'm happy to work but also scared.
I reviewed Earth Atlantis.

Yeah that Sonic Racing Transformed is one of the better kart racers out there. In some ways it can outperform Mario Kart. My favorite racers are also my favorite SEGA characters: Ulala and Tails.
Here's my review of it:
